Evening racing at Great Leighs, Newton Abbot and Killarney

Plenty of racing this eve mng, with all-weather action at Great Leighs, N.H. racing at Newton Abbot and a mixed meeting from Killarney in Ireland (3 races on the flat, 3 over jumps and a bumper), where Tony Martin, back to fporm at the weekend, can land a double with Reisk Superman (Paul Carberry) in the novice chase at 19.55 CT and Munnings (Fran Berry) in the 1 3/4 miles conditions race on the flat at 21.35. At Great Leighs, the class 4 handicap over 1 3/4 miles at 19.50 looks booked for Luca Cumani´s improving Boz (Jamie Spencer), who has won 6 of his last 7 races and still looks ahead of the handicapper. Ed Dunlop´s Temple of Thebes (Stephen Donohoe) was an easy winner of a maiden here 3 weeks ago and appears to have little to beat in the fillies´ handicap at 20.20. Some of the top jumps jpockeys turn out at Newton Abbot. Although Paul Nicholls has sent his stable stars to their summer break, he can still provide Ruby Walsh with two winners - Poquelin in the novice chase at 20.10 and Forest Green in the handicap huirdle at 21.40.
